  • It have a very small amount of informations about it.

    Would be nice to have some details about:

    • Where messages and identities are stored?
    • How the identity is managed?
    • What topology does it use for the decentralization.
    • If and how does it supoort multiple clients for the same identity.
    • Does it handle multiple servers/identities?
    • There is a home server, but does it store all informations in some way or is it just a encryoted storage and relay.

    Only android and Desktop. But it’s a good start.


  • Fake news, CEO and all emplyes are getting pay’d in full, it doesn’t matter if they sell the product to its users or sell (user data) to their sponsors or share the data internaly, it doesnt matter that the service model itself is not profitable as they make the rest from selling a (fake?) promises.

    Same with many others like Youtube, they are also “not profitable” on paper as a standalone service. It only mean they are using you, selling your data or selling some promises.

    If they would actully not be profitable then they would rise prices or just disapear and some other company would arise but with srtategy that is at least sustainable.

    Open source devs can be losing money, as the pay from their own pockets.

    I would like to see at least one person in that company that is not getting money from it but fund it from own money.






  • For steam, shutdown it and start it from terminal to see logs from steam and games on screen. Then start the game that doesn’t want to start and paste those logs. Because 99% of time clue for the reason why its failing is in the log.

    You dont need to use this method to get the logs maybe there is a simpler one foe your setup, like look for those logs in journal or any other place but thats how I did investigate why some steam game didn’t start. But I did have native steam, not flatpak one. For flatpak you might need some flatpak run something. something command, it should log a lot of text, if not then maybe need some --params to not go into background.

    Overall this method works for most stuff, logs are the holy grail of any app when debugging and (almost if not) all linux run app does output those :)




  • It’s not a question what did they send but why. Is it just more automated marketing bullshit that is trying to guess what people might like and revomend shit to people? At least the post suggests that.

    The whole notion on tracking people interests to promote shit should be banned in the first place IMHO. It only leads to promote shit while filling greedy people pockets.

    Recommendations should always be personal like if you Like/subscibe to person X then it could suggest stuff that X thinks if should recommend and it should clearly say “X recommends:” so you know who recommends what, both that you can stop follow people that sold themselfs to highest bidder or have interests not alight with you.

    Having automated magic recommendations is always a recipe for disaster (example above) and abuse by the algorithm owner.
